> but I guess we are also nerds

I think this old correlation is no longer valid. Computer nerds and gamers used to be almost interchangeable a long time ago, but I feel like there is tons of seperation now... Heck, I see game devs that aren't really gamers, and don't even know what GPU their computer has. On the flip side, tons of harcore gamers are basically computer illiterate.

Game dev seems to be outside of HN's palette too. I have no explanation for that.

Another possible factor: HN users are playing (and developing?) indie/AA games that are not front page worthy. This is the case with me. With some very rare exceptions (like CP2077, now that it is fixed up and modded), I have skipped most AAA games.
